Older Adult Relocation: Considerations for Nurse Practitioners
Older Adult Relocation: Considerations for Nurse Practitioners
The projected trends of the senior and baby-boomer population represent a projected demographic change that is nothing short of astounding. The nation's older adult population will continue to swell and, by 2035, will make up approximately 18% to 23% of the total population, nearly doubling this current age segment. With this significant and inevitable shift in demographics, individual, family, and community needs will increase proportionally. Nurse practitioners in primary care settings need to be cognizant of these trends and provide proactive assessments and health promotion advice to older patients and their families.
